So my neighbors' kids brought over some fresh eggs yesterday so I decided to make my sour cream coffee cake. I've been making this for years, having adapted my mother's original recipe, which I started making at age 10, to something that I have found to be foolproof. The testament to my claim of foolproof is that my son, who lives in Boston while attending Northeastern University, makes special Sunday trips home (45 minutes) in order to have my coffee cake:)
So here it is...interestingly, because the eggs were so fresh, the batter was practically jumping out of the pan after only about 8 minutes in the oven! We'll see when it comes out in about 10 minutes...
